A NEWPORT man, previously jailed for conspiracy to commit murder, for his role in a revenge street shooting has been re-arrested following a police appeal, after he breached his licence conditions.

Gwent Police have confirmed that they have re-arrested 27-year-old Brogan Hooper.

Hooper was found guilty of the charge in 2014, and was sentenced to 12 years in prison.

The incident involved the ramming of a car in Chepstow Road, Newport, in 2013 when shots were also fired at its occupants in what a judge described as a 'revenge attack'.

Three other men were convicted alongside Hooper.

Gwent Police had issued an appeal for Hooper's whereabouts last month.
